We *ALMOST* had our first snow last weekend in Northern Michigan. 32 In Cadillac and raining and 34 only 20 miles north of that. Brrr.. Now we are back to a respectable 70's in the daytime and 50's at night. Just perfect weather for the weekend.

Still here in Traverse City thinking of getting on the road someday. Drive safe everyone!

At the KOA Kampground in Gaylord Michigan for 2 days.

Instead of a new floor above the wheel wells, couldn't someone put singles on the rear and modify the wheel wells to get the 48 (or more) inches of space? Some sort of super single with it offset to the outside... Maybe that's a million dollar idea or a stupid one :)

I'm sure it's some kind of joke... BUT if it's not.. Then I would think it's a hell of a way to make sure all your drivers are going for the top 6% instead of 5%.. A way to kill intensives to be the best. ---- Politics deleted ---- Take from the hard workers and give to the lazy. Good...

Same as last month. At my Soul-sucking night job here in Traverse City Michigan. Not on the road. I will, however be camping this weekend :) -Mike

Hi Again, To keep expenses as low as possible, and due to the fact there is a lot more window vans out there for sale in decent shape then there are extended cargo vans.... Would you think a window van could be modified for Expedite use? What would be the drawbacks? Does anyone...

I have 3 homes (2 are rented). Does that mean I'm homeless 3 times removed ? :) Oh yeah, I have a camper too so I guess that would be 4x (not a driver yet) -Mike

Congrats on the Sprinter. How about a real rare thing... ? A VW Grill.. I've seen them in Iceland (a few years ago) .. I forget what VW Calls them, but imagine making a living driving a Volkswagen! -Mike

Thanks for all the info! I'm not anywhere near going out and buying a sprinter and jumping into Expediting (yet). I'm trying to scope out the most expensive ways of doing a van. (I don't think I can get a CDL just yet... High Sugar- I'm working on it!) If I were to do it, I would likely...
